US Republicans say voters will repudiate Obama

With two days left in a bitter fight for control of the US Congress, Republicans on Sunday appeared headed to a smashing victory they said would be a repudiation of President Barack Obama and his policies.

Candidates across the country launched a frantic final push for support as Obama neared the end of a two-day campaign swing designed to pump up Democratic turnout less than 48 hours before Americans begin to cast their ballots. (Reuters)
